Shubert, Christopher W.; Meredith, Dawn C. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
Students' epistemologies affect how and what they learn: do they believe physics is a list of equations, or a coherent and sensible description of the physical world? In order to study these epistemologies as part of curricular assessment, we adopt the resources framework, which posits that students have many productive epistemological resources…
